Nile Air allows expectant mothers to travel up to the end of the 35th week for single pregnancies and up to the 32nd week for multiple pregnancies, ensuring the safety of both mother and baby.
Nile Air requires a medical certificate from a qualified doctor for expectant mothers who have reached their 28th week of pregnancy, stating the stage of pregnancy and fitness to fly.
Nile Air specifies that the medical certificate must be issued within 7 days of the flight date and should clearly mention the expected date of delivery and that the pregnancy is progressing normally.
Nile Air prioritizes health and safety by advising against air travel for mothers during the first 7 days after delivery, unless medical clearance is provided for urgent travel.
